Will I still need a decalsifier along with this cleaning and descaling solution? (What is the difference between descaling and decalsifying?)

Water scale (lime) is primarily composed of calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide. Descaling and decalcifying are essentially the same thing. The weak acids (usually citric acid) present in the descaling agent dissolve the buildup of lime (which is alkaline) in the water channels and thermoblocks of the coffee machines, keeping them free of obstruction and therefore efficient.

This would not be enough on its own to remove contaminants and old wax in preparation for polishing and fresh wax. You could certainly use this for the initial wash, but ideally you want to follow with something like Pinnacle's Paintwork Cleansing Lotion or the P21S Paintwork Cleanser. For even more cleaning power, use a clay bar after washing before a paint cleanser, then polishing and waxing. Cheers!

This kit is a 3 step process, a cleaner, liquid sander and a finisher. The transformation kit does not have the liquid sander step. I would highly recommend this renewal kit for "lived on" floors. If all you need is a surface shine, go with the transformation kit. But if you have surface scratches, etc, this renewal kit will do a great job of eliminating most of those.

It's better to use cleaner first then the refresher. The refresher is used when floors look a little dull. You can use the polish anytime after the floors have been refreshed. I have all solid wood floors and they get dull after a few months. That's when the refresher is best used. Blondie

Per instructions on the bottle, one. You can buy descaling cleaner at local Bed Bath and Beyond stores, too, and save on shipping.

cleaner and polish. Use the Cleaner first, or the Finish product will not leave a good look.

I have not decalcified it. I always use a filter. As per the unit's instructions, decalcification is not required if filter is used. However, there are decalcification tablets that you can buy and just follow the instructions.

Unless it has an oily film I do not use anything except to roughen the surface slightly. I have used a light application of paint thinner to remove any oily substance. My biggest problem is trying to keep the dry mix in place before the liquid is applied, I have used tape to accomplish this. I marvel at the quick set up and strength. of this product. Good Luck!

There is no difference. Both do the same job. I called 3M and they could not tell me the difference. The general purpose cleaner is effective for removing adhesive.

Of course, but this begs the question, "What is the intended outcome of doing this?". If you are trying to color a surface, then seal it, mixing the two products would seem to have the potential to compromise the effectiveness of both products [the sealer will dilute the coloring agent and/or the coloring agent dilutes the sealer]. Why not color first, then seal?

I usually use about 125 ml. I wouldn't increase the strength of the decalcifier any. If you need to just do multiple decalcifications. If it is really badly calcified you may consider getting it professionally serviced to pull apart the boiler and clean it out. You can do it yourself if you're handy. Just label EVERYTHING. I prefer durgol but this is good too.

for paint removal use 120 to get paint off and 220 to 320 final to paint, fro cleaning I assume you are talking about sanding the clear to buff? I would suggest 1200 grit sum light paper

The stuff converts the rust to a smooth, black paintable surface. I put touchup paint right over it for small scratches and stone chips. If all of the rust is gone, there is nothing for this to convert, so you may not need it.

No it is a paper decal and will be washed off right away. I would recommend for use of indoor applications that will not be in the elements of weather.

Its all about how you clean it after you do the job. Latex paints are easier to work with because they are water based.

There is actually a "descaler" solution made for the machine. Pick some up quickly at bed bath or order some here. Do it outside and make sure you are upwind! Some nasty stuff coming out of there.this will keep your machine clean for years..Waterwise Distiller Kleenwise Cleaner/Descaler - 40 oz.

I use reverse osmosis treated water in my machine and have only had to decalcify once. The process is slow, but I don't see it as a big deal. I've had other brand machines and the process was slow on them also.
